[QUOTE="LAV, post: 76947, member: 1123"] Timbre matching between the main front speakers and the centre is fairly important, for the rear surrounds not that critical. If you do happen to find a matching Tannoy centre, great, but for starting out I won't buy a complete set of 5 speakers just for the sake of matching. I used my JBL centre with my B&Ws until I could buy the B&W centre, and it sounded quite decent. Most AVRs also offer EQ for the centre, you sou can play around to make the centre "fit" the mains. I would also not settle for a "baby" speaker kit. There are often other package deals with much better speakers, if you really want to go the package route. Otherwise just buy an AVR now and build / expand as you go along. [/QUOTE]
